Manchester United’s manager, Ruben Amorim, praised his key players after their comeback victory against Viktoria Plzen in the Europa League on Thursday night.

The Red Devils managed to secure a 2-1 win at the Doosan Arena, having trailed early in the match.

Rasmus Højlund, who has shown flashes of his potential since his move to United, played a decisive role by scoring both goals.

The Danish striker demonstrated composure and clinical finishing, proving why the club invested heavily in him over the summer.

His goals were a turning point for United, who were under pressure after a shaky start.

However, it wasn’t just Højlund who caught Amorim’s attention.

The Portuguese manager also singled out Antony and Mason Mount for their impact on the game.

Antony, who has faced criticism in recent months for inconsistent performances, delivered a sharp and energetic display.

His ability to drive at defenders and create space gave United much-needed momentum on the right flank.

Mason Mount, who joined United from Chelsea, also stepped up.

His work rate, quick passing, and intelligence in the midfield helped steady the team and unlock opportunities for the attack.

Despite a challenging start to his United career due to injuries, Mount’s performance showed glimpses of why he remains highly rated.

In his post-match comments, Amorim expressed satisfaction with the trio’s efforts.

“Højlund was exceptional, but Antony and Mason Mount also made a huge difference,” he said, as quoted by journalist Fabrizio Romano.

“They’re here to deliver in these moments, and they did exactly that. I’m delighted with their contributions and their desire to win.”
